Well I have 70 words. I know I am missing 2ca, 2 ho, 1 0 1r, 1 sa and 2 w. Believe me when I tell you I've tried every combo. Nuttin. I think I'll just die at 70 today :)

5:39 pm

granadan

Many thanks Mal - if you could only have heard me trying to get that one!

5:53 pm

dimwit

How many letters is the i word as the flower clue has not helped me ?

6:08 pm

marigold

The I word has 4 letters sometimes it can also be spelled with a y as the first letter

6:13 pm

dimwit

thanks, marigold, I'll work on that

6:14 pm

marigold

I am missing the last w. I have 7 w's that are 4 letters and 1 that is 5 letters. Does anyone know what I am missing? please

6:18 pm

fit1

oops. Mal, I am only missing 8. They are the ones I mentioned but only 1 HO :)

6:19 pm

marigold

Maybe someone can give me a hint. please for the W

6:21 pm

dimwit

I only 4 w's so far, sorry :(

6:24 pm

shortseer

There are 2x W5 words
One is a plural of a W4

The other W5 is a fish (Acanthocybium solanderi)
I'd never heard of this fish ... until i looked it up i thought the W5 was the expression a Babbler might make on finding the last word in the puzzle ;)

6:26 pm

fit1

YEOWWW short. Thanks for the great W clue. Now i only need 7 more words.

6:27 pm

fit1

oh dear goodness. I found the last W word. It is a simple everyday word. What a num num I am

You are missing an o4/o5 sequence
I think it's an hawaiian tree ... but it sounds rather like the name of another american state ;)

7:12 pm

periwinkle

shortseer, I found the o/4 right before your post. But can't find the o/5. Is it the plural of the o/4.?

7:17 pm

periwinkle

shortsheer, nevermind, I found the plural of the o/4. I was focusing on the wrong A. :)

7:30 pm

youngster

MammaJill, I have the same 'w's as you did at 06:28. What clue gave you the last w?
And I still don't know that crayfish!

7:34 pm

dimwit

the first half of the crayfish is a word, I think Scottish, for throat

7:39 pm

youngster

dimwit, ok, what about the 2nd half :) ?

7:40 pm

dimwit

periwinkle, did you get the h you were looking for ?

7:40 pm

dimwit

youngster the second half is paternal

7:42 pm

youngster

dimwit, got it thanks. I'd never have known that!

7:45 pm

youngster

dimwit, Showing my inexperience here, but how did you work that one out?

7:47 pm

dimwit

Actually I just saw it - I'm sure I have heard the word used in films.

7:50 pm

youngster

I'd hoped there was some simpler way of getting these words I've never heard of. Another daft question, is there any way of keeping a check on the log without constantly having to 'add'?

7:52 pm

dimwit

Do you mean the log in the drop down box of words you have tried ? I don't have that in Netscape but you should be able to click on the arrow at the side I think. otherwise there's always pencil and paper....:D

7:54 pm

youngster

No, I mean when someone adds a comment or clue here.

7:56 pm

dimwit

click the refresh/reload button on the top toolbar

7:57 pm

youngster

Ahh! Thanks :-)

7:59 pm

youngster

Giving up at 63 words. Almost 2am - too tired to find any more. Thanks for your help.

9:02 pm

periwinkle

I am still missing the last H word.
Can someone help? I had posted what I had at 7:01pm. please

9:13 pm

periwinkle

I am missing the 3 RI's.

9:15 pm

fit1

9:16 pm

dimwit

are you sure there are 3 ri's ? I don't have any and I have only 1 more word to go.

9:18 pm

fit1

Peri, you can't need 3 ri's. I am only missing 1 r word and I have no ri's. That may be one I'm missing, but there
can't be 3 of them

9:20 pm

shortseer

R4 (starts from R on 2nd row)
Any species of turbellarian worms belonging to Planaria, and many allied genera. The body is usually flat, thin, and smooth. Some species, in warm countries, are terrestrial.

9:21 pm

fit1

There is one RI. i just found it and finished my R's. I now only need an HO and 2 CAs

9:21 pm

dimwit

Thanks for the sort of clue there, I have found the ri and now I can finally go to bed ! (it's 3.21am)

9:21 pm

shortseer

In general, having worms is bad.
But you need these worms to finish Babble today

9:25 pm

periwinkle

I mean 1 ri and 3 ro's. sorry

9:25 pm

fit1

I have CA 4/7, 4/6, 4/6 and 4/9
HO 5/16, 4/10,, 5/22 and 4/10. Can anyone tell me what I am missing so I can quit this thing ? :)

9:26 pm

fit1

ooh got a CA 5/26. One more to go

9:28 pm

fit1

It's the plural. YAYYYYYYYYYYYY. And now for the HO please!!!!!!

9:32 pm

shortseer

3x Ha4
1x Hi4
2x Ho4
2x Ho5

9:37 pm

fit1

Shortseer. I was missing an HI not an HO. And like the W, it was an everyday word which just eluded me. I finally found it. What a jerk. But I'm done!!!!!! And at peace with the world. LOL
